5.0 out of 5 stars Top 5 Season in My Book!, March 18, 2010

This review is from: ER: The Complete Thirteenth Season (DVD)

If I were to rank seasons of ER, this (and season 15, the final season) would make the top five, along with three of the earlier seasons. Season 13 is major
improvement over season 12, partly because the writers stop forcing us to
sit through Africa episodes.

While I think this is one of the best seasons, there is one flaw I'd like to
mention early in the review, and that has to do with ER taking (bad) cues
from what became it's Thursday night hospital drama competition starting with
this season: Grey's Anatomy. During season 13, I got the feeling that the creative forces behind ER were trying to win over Grey's Anatomy fans
by increasing the amount of sex scenes and "cute" relationship storylines/moments.
ER always had it's relationship stories and sex scenes, and that was fine,
but for a brief period in the season, they piled it on too thick. The prime example is Neela's sex dream about Gates in episode 6 or 7. Fortunately, they backed away from that tactic quickly (although this type of scene made another appearance
late in season 14).

Now that I have that out of the way, I can mention what makes this an outstanding
season of ER. (CONTAINS SPOILERS) First and foremost, Dr. Weaver departs for
a (Dr. Sanjay Gupta) type job at a TV station in Florida. She is missed, but her
final two episodes (as a regular) are well written and, of course, her acting is
top notch. Another highlight is Forest Whitaker's emmy nominated role as Curtis
Ames, a former patient of Dr. Kovac who sues him for malpractice. Sally Field makes her final appearance, Abby and Kovac are married, Dr. Morris matures (a little),
the hospital is closed for renovation and Stanley Tucci makes the first two appearances of a story arc that continues until the end of season 14.

In between these storylines, there are many other shorter patient storylines,
many of which are excellent and fresh, unlike some of the repetitive storylines
tossed around in seasons 11 and 12.

On one final note, this is the season when ER became the most emmy nominated
TV series of all time, with a total of 120 nominations (by the time the series
ended in 2009, the show had been nominated for 124 emmys).

5.0 out of 5 stars Another GREAT season of ER!, June 3, 2010

Here's another great year of ER!! I can't wait for the release! ER will be missed!!! :'(

I do have a problem with the recent seasons though: where are the gag reels???????? The bloopers are one of the favorite things I love about the show, but they haven't been included on seasons 11, 12, and now, 13!! There IS a gag reel for season 13, because I've seen it!!!!!!!!! I miss the bloopers!!

One more thing. I don't see why so many people hate the Africa episodes so much. They take us along with Luka, Carter, and Pratt, to a hugely neglected part of the world and show us what needs to be done in those countries. These episodes gave me a reason to live, when I was terribly depressed, and I intend on making a difference in central Africa one day---thanks to ER.

Not one of my favorite seasons. The story lines a bit slow and aren't elaborated on enough. The season finale does add a shocking twist. The last episode of the season was definitely the best.
